I just saw this over at Nivin in the Crates and had to repost because of these crazy shoes! Plus because Raquel Zimmerman looks hot. Plus she is rockin’ some pretty extreme outfits.

I just saw this over at Nivin in the Crates and had to repost because of these crazy shoes! Plus because Raquel Zimmerman looks hot. Plus she is rockin’ some pretty extreme outfits. And amazing poses. Shot by Mario Sorrenti for Vogue Paris, the editorial entitled ‘Graffi-Couture’ features NY based artist, KAWS. My favourites below.

These pics are old but I am posting them now because I am feeling spring in the air. I am also feeling summer – only a little bit (- the appearance of the sun does not fool me, it’s still damn cold outside), but it’s enough to get my mind thinking about expanding my summer wardrobe. I can’t wait to be able to leave the house without 2 cardigans. Resort collections. You either love ‘em or you hate ‘em. I love them. Especially these outfits from Balenciaga’s Resort 2010. They do it for me. I am partial to the dresses (below). Actually, I am pretty partial to the whole collection when I think about it. I would totally (if I had the funds) purchase these…

ANYWAY I was like, ‘Weird, why would I be getting traffic from someone’s facebook’. ANYWAY THEN I LOOKED IT UP AND I FOUND THIS. OH. Can’t believe she has claimed my blog as her own.

This year and last year I went to Australia to go to St Jerome’s Laneway Festival. Laneway tours around Aus and is like a really small big day out where everyone is over 18 and all the girls have red lipstick and fringes.
